#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream
I am much too sensitive, like a fern
my mood defaults to worry, ridiculous
fronds wizen at the first breath of frost -
I require frequent, disciplined applications
of trees surviving randomly, evidence
of flight of birds, the sight of winter food
If what I track is cheerful
A map is a hearty helpful labyrinth
to pace into relinquishing
my bearings
